    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Form 6-K (17 CFR 249.306) is a disclosure document under the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) that must be 
filed by a foreign private issuer to report material information 
promptly after the occurrence of specified or other important corporate 
events that are disclosed in the foreign private issuer's home country. 
The purpose of Form 6-K is to ensure that U.S. investors have access to 
the same information that foreign investors do when making investment 
decisions. Form 6-K is a public document and all information provided 
is mandatory. Form 6-K takes approximately 8.7 hours per response and 
is filed by approximately 34,794 issuers annually. We estimate 75% of 
the 8.7 hours per response (6.525 hours) is prepared by the issuer for 
a total annual reporting burden of 227,031 hours (6.525 hours per 
response x 34,794 responses). The remaining burden hours are reflected 
as a cost to the foreign private issuers.
    An agency may conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
by November 27, 2023 to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) 
David Bottom, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549, or by sending an email to: [email protected].

    Dated: October 23, 2023.
Sherry R. Haywood,
Assistant Secretary.
